District Court

These sentences were recorded in June in the Grayson County General District Court office, Independence. Sentences may be appealed:

HILLSVILLE – The Virginia State Police are investigating an accident that involved multiple vehicles on Interstate 77 on Nov. 30. The accident resulted in seven injuries, although only five individuals accepted treatment.

According to reports from state police, Trooper S.M. Cochran responded to an accident at 4:59 p.m. on I-77 in Carroll County. Cochran stated that a 2013 Dodge Charger was traveling northbound on the interstate when the accident occurred about 0.1 mile north of the Route 148 (Chances Creek Road) overpass. This location was around the 8.3-mile marker.

Send them away
Just look on the front page of the Nov. 16 paper — three men were charged with selling meth and being armed [two of which are not U.S. citizens]. Now, they are sitting in our regional jail getting three meals a day, bed to sleep in and a TV to watch. The American people are paying for this. Get them out of this country. Send them back to their country and let their government foot the bill, because the American people are done with it. Good job to our police officers and God bless America.

Help the needy
I agree with the caller about the cold coffee and stale donuts church, all these big screen TVs and such. What these big churches need to do if they have the money to buy something like that is, try to get out in the community and help people in need instead of filling their pockets full.

Every four years, American news is dominated by the presidential election. Pundits and analysts play up the drama, predict the outcome of the Electoral College, and endlessly analyze the results. Since the Republican candidate won the election, yet lost the popular vote by less than one percent, speculation has started on the purpose of the Electoral College.

Many thanks
This is a great big thank you to Galax Pentecostal Holiness Church from Harmony Village for the wonderful meal you delivered to us on Thanksgiving Day. It was delicious and greatly appreciated by everyone. Thank you so very much and may God bless each and every one of you.

Vultures overhead
When is Galax going to get rid of these vultures? We had Thanksgiving at my house and everybody was making comments about the vultures. They are nasty and it was very embarrassing. I think Galax needs to do something.

HILLSVILLE –– Preceding Wednesday’s Carroll County-Floyd County girls’ basketball game, a public service announcement explained to fans the VHSL’s new 30-point rule. Based on the one that has been in place for years in football, a continuously-running clock will be implemented in the fourth quarter when a team is ahead by a 30-point margin in an effort to shorten games that are woefully out of hand.
